Poetry / I know, though I intend to love you well (Analysis)

An intriguing piece for sure, though a bit smashed to gether I think. It might help it flow a bit better if you play with the phsycality of this piece a little bit. It also seems cut short, like there was more to be said but that wasn’t. All in all a good first draft. Good luck with this one!

Great job using such elegant words and still keeping it clear as to what you are saying.
You have amazing talent with this!

This is hard for me to review.  I think I sense that the narrator is expressing a wish to love, an intention, but human nature is pulling her/him back from being the beloved that he or she would wish to be.  But the beloved is seen equally as having the potential to hurt, and the narrator prays as much not to be victim as he/she wishes equally to victimize.

Whew.  Felt like I analyzed a poem for a class in college.  You state your case clearly and you have set it within an interesting structure.  I am not really a fan of modern poetry, but you stated the case of your narrator well.
